    Patent number: 5033704
    Abstract: A monolithic one-piece body is releasably attached to a groove surrounding an open mouth of a paint container and has a top shelf that extends over that open mouth. A magnet is located in the top shelf and magnetically affixes a paint brush bristle ring to the top shelf in a manner which locates the paint brush bristles over the paint container open mouth. The top shelf can be parallel to a plane containing the open mouth, or can be tilted, and various magnet elements are used and are spaced at various locations to accommodate plural brushes or to locate brushes at various locations on the top shelf. The magnets are also located to automatically attract the brush to the desired location even if a painter is not watching where the brush is being placed on the top shelf.
